Two decades ago, the sequence of the first human genome was published. Since then,
advances in genome technologies have resulted in whole-genome sequencing and …

We challenge the view that our species, Homo sapiens, evolved within a single population
and/or region of Africa. The chronology and physical diversity of Pleistocene human fossils …

Latin America continues to be severely underrepresented in genomics research, and fine-
scale genetic histories and complex trait architectures remain hidden owing to insufficient …

The African continent is regarded as the cradle of modern humans and African genomes
contain more genetic variation than those from any other continent, yet only a fraction of the …

The past few years have witnessed a revolution in our ability to obtain DNA from ancient
humans. This important new data has added to our knowledge from archaeology and …

Southern Africa is consistently placed as a potential region for the evolution of Homo
sapiens. We present genome sequences, up to 13x coverage, from seven ancient …

We assembled genome-wide data from 16 prehistoric Africans. We show that the anciently
divergent lineage that comprises the primary ancestry of the southern African San had a …

The Bantu expansion transformed the linguistic, economic, and cultural composition of sub-
Saharan Africa. However, the exact dates and routes taken by the ancestors of the speakers …

The deep evolutionary history of African populations, since the emergence of modern
humans more than 300,000 years ago, has resulted in high genetic diversity and …

A wide-ranging and accessible introduction to the origins and histories of the first agricultural
populations in many different parts of the world This fully revised and updated second …
